[longknife]

Interesting to read this piece written by an Aljazeera staff member. I can't quite decide whether it's pro or con on the group but it does provide an interesting insight we aren't getting elsewhere.

ISIS exists in every mosque in the world.
A very important fact of Islamic law----
ANY LAND UPON WHICH THERE EVER
EXISTED A MOSQUE----IS MUSLIM LAND
FOREVER

Here's another:

"The Islamic State’s primary mission is to build a strong foundation in what it refers to as the Abode of Islam.

"The plan: Sweep away Jordan and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

"Jordan is the next target after consolidating gains in Iraq and Syria, because Jordan’s territory offers access to the northern tribes of Saudi Arabia.

"From there, its dreams are wildly ambitious: Lead a campaign that will range from Jerusalem all the way to the Iberian peninsula in order to recapture the caliphate of Córdoba and restore Muslim rule which ended in 1492.

"The IS, according to Israeli political and military sources, is recruiting on the West Bank and in Gaza to launch attacks on Israel."

Another view:

 

[georgephillip]

Conspiracy theories always seem outrageous at first view, but once in a while one comes along with a little bit of truth to it.

"Though there is scant evidence, one such theory currently popular in the Arab world is the idea that the Islamic State (ISIS or ISIL) was actually created by the American CIA with the purpose of re-opening Iraq to another U.S. invasion, reported The New York Times.

"However outlandish the theory may sound, it is quite popular among the people of Iraq.

"Shiite Muslims have organized several demonstrations with the intent of preventing President Barack Obama’s administration from re-entering the country with the pretense of protecting it from ISIS.

"Haidar al-Assadi, a 40-year-old participant of one such march, told NYT that he believed the United States would do anything in order to control Iraq without facing worldwide condemnation, even using the CIA to orchestrate ISIS’ acts of terror."

Since neither the Syrian army nor the "moderate" Syrian rebels are strong enough to stop IS if they are fighting on two fronts, wouldn't you think the US would be working on ceasefire between Assad and the rebels?

Or maybe that would diminish the arm$ sale$ in the Middle East?

what else is new, Georgie-----anyone who does not understand that the agenda of
islam ---FIRST recover all-- "muslim land"---
"muslim land" being any land upon which muslims ever "WON THE VICTORY OF RAPE AND PILLAGE"----and includes large areas of land from Europe to the Far East and almost all of Africa -----including but not limited to-----Spain, Portugal, France, Italy ,
Turkey ---a whole bunch of the "stans" over
there in asia---all of the Indian subcontinent etc etc and THENCE on to the entire world----including but not limited to---las vegas.
Right now----there is "muslim land" in the USA-----eg---the world trade center site---given to the ummah by allah-----AND any site

SHARIAH LAW----"muslim land" FOREVER---also any place a dead muslim is buried

Islam can't hold a candle to capitalism when it comes to murdering people for their land, water, and oil. You really should worry more about what your people are doing to Palestine before you concern yourself with ancient Muslim crimes.

Georgie----you have,, again, babbled.
For "murder for land"--lessons----start with the Koran "capitalism"??? -----capitalism is not a religious ideology----it is not even a
political ideology. -----it is an economic form-------shariah societies are---in fact---generally capitalistic. A problem does exist in the
economics of shariah in that it rejects
"interest"-----on loans. The problem can be overcome----and must be in the real modern world for good functioning-----a client of mine--long ago was a Professor of economics---he was hired by Saudi Arabia to fix the Saudi system to make it functional in the real world
